Gagamba, the cripple, sells sweepstakes tickets the whole day at the entrance to Camarin, the Ermita restaurant. He sees them all--the big men, politicians, journalists, generals, landlords, and the handsome call-girls who have to make Camarin famous. In mid-July 1990, a killer earthquake struck and entombed all the beautiful people dining at the Camarin. Gagamba could have easily gotten killed--but he survived the earthquake, as do two other luck people who were burried in the rubble As told by the Philippines' most widely translated author, this novel raises the same time the only rational answer.
